The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has launched an immigration crackdown in Charlotte, North Carolina, as part of President Donald Trump's efforts to target 'criminal illegal aliens'. The operation, dubbed 'Operation Charlotte's Web', resulted in nearly 100 arrests in the Charlotte area on Saturday. Local officials, including Mayor Vi Lyles, criticized the operation, saying it caused 'unnecessary fear and uncertainty' in the community. The DHS claims the operation is necessary because North Carolina has not honoured nearly 1,400 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees. Charlotte is not a sanctuary city, but it is a 'certified welcoming city'. The operation is part of Trump's promise to deliver 'the largest deportation programme' in US history.

The US Border Patrol arrested 81 people in Charlotte, North Carolina, on the first day of an immigration crackdown, as part of the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. The operation was led by Gregory Bovino, a senior Border Patrol official, who stated that many of those arrested had significant criminal and immigration history. North Carolina Governor Josh Stein criticized the operation, saying that federal agents were targeting American citizens based on their skin color and racially profiling people. The Department of Homeland Security said the raids were a response to local officials' refusal to comply with detainer requests to hold suspects for up to 48 hours beyond their release time.
